W8 may run well for several days, but occasionally hangs for 30' to minutes. Mouse is usable and some window switching is possible, but during the freeze it's essentially dead. Occurs randomly while in browser, other programs, file manager, etc. Sometimes, but not always, a window reports...

1) Surf the web for hours and get nowhere, not least when you try the Microsoft Windows 8 forum and they advise you to cut and paste a registry command which doesn't work. At least not for me. 2) Put your drive's SATA lead in a different socket on the motherboard. You may have to experiment...

Hi all. I recently installed a new SATA Sony Optiarc DVD-RW drive (Model AD-7280S-0B) to replace an older IDE drive, and since its install I have experienced two BSoDs within 10 minutes of booting with the same STOP error both times; 0x0000001E. Attached the the two .DMP files that were created...
